Quite convenient from the Eastern GTA. Especially by transit. That is probbably contingent on load and waivers. Regulators have been getting quite strict on runway end zones lately.

' It's enough to get a few big things done. But not much more. And I don't expect the LPC to be in government at the next election. Mostly because that would just be an unprecedented streak I think. Hoping he can just get moving on some key priorities. HSR for me.

I have explained this before. There's important nuances. The Lockheed Martin Canada that is building the ships is a substantially Canadian company with mostly Canadian employees and execs. They ship profit south. But the IP resides in Canada and they openly compete against products from...

Hardly. We've had these discussions at work long before they were public. And let's just say there's a lot of room between politics and reality. People seem to assume this means no companies with an HQ in the US. That would cut the list of Canadian defence contractors to something one could...

Somehow I think those who are complaining, would still be doing so if it was a conventional line.

That's not accurate. They have their own. And they can buddy tank to get over. It's not efficient and dramatically reduces payload. But they can and have done it. That said, i wholeheartedly agree that it's really hard to see how prolonging this benefits the US.

They could just accept the loss. Terrible for US image? Absolutely. Does Trump care about the image of the US? Probably not.

I was just telling someone. How long before the Israelis violate the ceasefire? I am skeptical this holds. I think the regime needs times to regroup, rearm and reset. I think the Americans and Israelis have mostly run out of targets and need some activity to establish a new pattern of life...

Of course. But how many other countries would write of $300M worth of kit to not have one of their troops paraded on enemy television? This is an important part of morale for the US Military and rubs off on NATO. The idea that no expense will be spared and no effort restrained to get every...

An incredible op to get the WSO out. Over 100 personnel involved. And they wrote off $300M in assets to do it: Whatever one thinks of this war, their commitment to leave no man behind is incredible. You won't see anybody else doing this to get one crewmember back.

Exactly. Trudeau did basically nothing on HFR during his entire first term. Then funded a Project Management Office to do a few hundred million worth of studies. And then during his second term? Funding priority was setting up the Infrastructure Bank. It didn't become Alto until his third...

Was obvious it was going to get politicized when the price tag was announced. The nature of Canada. OAS is at $80B/yr going to $100B/yr by 2030. You won't hear a peep about that. Doesn't start phasing out till $90k and phases out at $140k. We would rather give seniors with six figure...

I am getting disappointed with the Ventures. Their reliability sucks. And it really sucks they haven't been able to fully take over Corridor services. I don't travel as much personally these days. But I'm a huge advocate for VIA at work. It's kinda hard to do that when the service is...

Today's shoot downs in Iran show you how vulnerable 4th gen jets. Just imagine 10, 20, 30, 40 years from now.

I'm okay with the status quo personally. And mostly because I simply don't trust a country that mostly consumes American media to not copy their republican system because that's what most of us know. Heck, a lot of the 90s was spent with the Reform Party advocating for an American style Senate...

The government doesn't usually give out contract terms on national security contracts. This is a practice not just for this government. Brewster knows this.

Mostly accurate. Proportionality and intent are major drivers. This is why there's usually a lawyer in the room when targeting decisions are made. But with this admin, good only knows what the instructions are and whether law and ethics are actually considered. Should be noted that...

For Jimmy Carter this ended his presidency effectively. Flip side, Trump called those serve "suckers and losers" and said John McCain (who refused early release from captivity) was only a hero because he got captured. Those comments come to mind. I also know that there's nothing that any...

Yep. Pretty easy to look at the posting history of the usual suspects and see how often they discussed/mentioned anything else that is either not about Palestine or applies a Palestinian centric view to something else (say the war in Iran). All on an urbanist forum.... Hey now. We have...

Both. What part of two states wasn't clear?
